The origin of Galactic cosmic rays (CR) is still a matter of debate. Supernova remnants (SNR) remains the best candidates thanks to their kinetic luminosity and a well studied acceleration mechanism, the diffusive shock acceleration, which has been shown to efficiently work at the SNR forward shocks. However, recently their ability to accelerate particles up to PeV energies, as required from...
Low mass fast moving/energetic dark matter (DM) is very well motivated and has been a subject of attention in the literature. These fast-moving particles can gain enough kinetic energy to pass the thresholds of some Large volume terrestrial detectors. For instance, fast-moving or "boosted" DM can account for the recent excess in electron recoil events observed by the XENON1T detector, due to...
High-energy collisions at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) will pro- duce an enormous flux of particles along the beam collision axis that is not accessible by existing LHC experiments. Multi-particle production in the far-forward region is of par- ticular interest for astroparticle physics. High-energy cosmic rays produce large particle cascades in the atmosphere, extensive...
Galaxy mergers are a standard aspect of galaxy formation and evolution, and most (likely all) large galaxies contain supermassive black holes. As part of the merging process, the supermassive black holes should in-spiral together and eventually merge, generating a background of gravitational radiation in the nanohertz to microhertz regime. An array of precisely timed pulsars spread across the...
